There's no place like Haven Point for the holidays, where the snow conspires to bring two wary hearts together for a Christmas to remember
It's been two rough years since Andrea Montgomery lost her husband, and all she wants is for her children to enjoy their first Christmas in Haven Point. But then Andie's friend asks a favor—to keep an eye on her brother, Sheriff Marshall Bailey, who's recovering from a hit and run. Andie will do anything for Wyn, even park her own misgivings to check on her grouchy, wounded bear of a brother.
Marshall hates feeling defenseless and resents the protective impulses that Andie brings out in him. But when a blizzard forces them together for the holidays, something in Marshall begins to thaw. Andie's gentle nature is a salve, and her kids' excitement for the holidays makes him forget why he never wanted a family. If only he and Andie can admit what they really want—each other—their Christmas wishes might come true after all.

      Overcoming self-doubt and fear plays a big part in Thayne’s fifth Haven Point contemporary (after Riverbend Road). Widow Andrea Montgomery wants to make her two kids’ first Christmas in Haven Point, Idaho, as memorable as possible. Then she’s emotionally blackmailed into checking up on a man who makes her nervous. Sheriff Marshall Bailey has enough to deal with: a broken leg, embezzlement within his own department, and a son who has no idea Marshall is his father. The last thing he wants or needs is help from a wary widow. However, their constant interactions—and a blizzard that forces the two to live together for a couple of days—help attraction develop, bringing a chance at happiness for two reluctant hearts. The wrap-up of the subplots is too easy, and Marshall’s incessant refusal of help is grating, but adorable kids, cute pets, and neighborly values make for a sweet read. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Associates.

      Andrea Montgomery is determined to make this Christmas unforgettable for her children, but when she's asked to care for her friend's brother, the surly, injured Sheriff Marshall Bailey, she wonders if Christmas might hold a few surprises for her, too. Narrator Vanessa Johansson doesn't manipulate her voice to sound like the gruff Marshall or the precocious children. Instead, she infuses each conversation with emotional depth, making each character distinctive and carefully tracing the bonds developing between them, from Marshall's growing devotion to Andrea's children to the palpable chemistry between him and Andrea, especially after a blizzard forces them together. Though listeners unfamiliar with this series may find some of the story's references confusing, Johansson's performance ensures a sweet romance that is utterly fulfilling.

      Widowed Andie Montgomery is planning to give her two young children a wonderful first Christmas in Haven Point--and it doesn't include keeping tabs on Marshall Bailey, the wounded, grouchy sheriff who lives up the street. But there's no way she can refuse her friend Wynona's request to check in on her brother as he recovers, especially as Wyn had saved Andie by taking a bullet for her in a terrifying confrontation. Naturally, Marsh isn't looking for help, but earnest Andie won't take no for an answer. In addition, her chatty four-year-old and his painfully shy older sister take Marsh in hand, and he can't help but be charmed. Is he in danger of falling for them all, including their relationship-wary mom? A mystery, a rebellious teenager, and hints of long-standing town conflict add interest and depth to this ongoing series. VERDICT A stubbornly independent hero who learns to accept assistance and a heroine afraid of risking another loss take a chance on each other. This holiday-steeped romance overflows with family and wintry small-town appeal. Thayne (Riverbend Road) lives in Northern Utah.
